. >> that is how scott brown did it in massachusetts. let's mention other names -- one of them, rudy giuliani, coming back. how did that florida strategy worked for him last time? >> that was the worst campaign -- this the only man in the last 16 presidential elections to that in all polls one year before the -- who led in all the polls one year before the nomination and did not get the nomination. republicans a lot of runners. rudy giuliani is squandered that. he showed himself to be arrogant and insensitive and incompetent. >> could huntsman become the favorite of republican party? >> he could be the favorite of the establishment of the east coast, but he is too much in the middle. they call him rino, republican in name only. >> correction of the year was a poll in iowa where apparently he got 1% of the vote, and the correction was, i'm sorry, we are not -- it was not 1%, it was one of vote, one guy. he does not have a grass-roots constituency, let's put it that way. >> you sort of wonder if it huntsman is that it is to do a john ander

scott brown, massachusetts, susan collins, maine, lisa merkow ski, alaska, olympia snow main, and senatord paul, kentucky. tim carney, what else happened in that race? i'm thinking about it, remember the name of jack davis. >> he was a democrat who was running a pretend tea party candidacy. >> what happened? >> he brought in 9%. >> did they do that with a purpose in mind? >> yes, i think -- >> it's a convinced democrat. >> yes. >> and he managed the tea party -- >> may have done that -- [everyone talking at once] >> yes, they had done in in other districts. >> why did they do that? >> it was a strategy they tried in other districts. [everyone talking at once] delivering this republican seat to the democrats. >> i don't think you can say every one of his votes would orwin. >> how many would you say would have gone to him? >> i don't know it. would have bin a -- the fact -- [everyone talking at once] >> the fact that it was 4 points. >> now, he would even easily have delivered that.

package i'm reminded not to just pick on him but it's a clear example of a senator from massachusetts scott brown i remember the day he got to washington after that special election he gave a press conference and he said the stimulus hasn't created one job and we could easily have taken him up to massachusetts and shown in lots of people at work fixing bridges roads highways from. stimulus so you're right it got i think fair rap but in many ways because of the second point you made when we implemented the stimulus the cut the unemployment rate was maybe around seven percent or so and and it went up after that now lots of independent analysts including the congressional budget office rigorously nonpartisan argue as you suggested that the unemployment rate would have been considerably higher probably a couple of points i would be looking at eleven percent now instead of nine but that is a very very hard message to get people to wrap their head around economists call it the counterfactual that is what would have occurred had you not done intervention acts it's a very thankless task trying to get peo

and we need to treat it that way and not make the mistake, for example, that we made when scott brownyou know, won pretty handily in massachusetts. i think that's the point the governor was making, because if she were to become the nominee, which i don't think she would, but let's pretend, the point is that, you know, you have an incredible gop machine that would come in behind her and as we know, just about anybody, i'm going to say george bush, can get elected president with that kind of machine. >> here is the unfortunate truth, richard, very quickly. >> sure, go ahead. >> 9.1 unemployment rate. barack obama, the president could be running against john smith from, you know, aiden, pennsylvania. and if 9.1%, which is an unfortunate high, if in fact that's the case come november 2012, it will be very, very hard for the president to win re-election. i think the governor dean's point, if, in fact, sarah palin does become the republican nominee, which, you know, maybe, maybe not, we'll see, if in fact she does become the republican nominee, there is a very good chance she could win agai

they chose to force it through on a party vote even after losing the scott brown collection and gender 2010. it is there. it is law. the president is reelected in 12, and the democrats were able to keep control of the senate and gain seats and as it would be awfully hard to repeal it. if the president, if a republican president and republicans take control of the house and even come close or wednesday and i think we'll be easy to repeal it. so unlike in 93-94, we put together the fight against the clinton health care proposal, that failed. that was all the books by 95. than president clinton had a huge amount of maneuverability and 95-96. he signed welfare reform. president obama can move to the center on some issues and has on some issues, and should be praised for doing so. might put you on some issues at the end of the day this is a signature piece of legislation. it's on the books. he can't tinker with it too much. republicans will have to repeal it. he has to defend. it doesn't provide a contrast, choice for the country. between the presidential candidates. so again this is pretty
